What I'm Reading~ Weeknd 3/2-4/12

Hey there! It's been very icy here where I live, we can't really go outside without slipping on something and almost dying. lol. So it's a great time to stay indoors and read a good book :) Here's what I've got going for me this week.

Sarai sounds so good! After reading all the reviews for The Wives of David Series I knew that I had to give this one a shot.

Back Blurb: Sarai, the last child of her aged father, is beautiful, spoiled, and used to getting her own way. Even as a young girl, she is aware of the way men look at her, including her half brother Abram. When Abram finally requests Sarai's hand, she asks one thing--that he promise never to take another wife as long as she lives. Even her father thinks the demand is restrictive and agrees to the union only if Sarai makes a promise in return--to give Abram a son and heir. Certain she can easily do that, Sarai agrees.

But as the years stretch on and Sarai's womb remains empty, she becomes desperate to fulfill her end of the bargain--lest Abram decide that he will not fulfill his. To what lengths will Sarai go in her quest to bear a son? And how long will Abram's patience last?

Jill Eileen Smith thrilled readers with The Wives of King David series. Now she brings to life the strong and celebrated wives of the patriarchs, beginning with the beautiful and inscrutable Sarai.

Let me tell you, Twilight's Last Gleaming is really turning out to be an incredibly thought provoking book, especially in light of the 2012 elections. This book has a much different take than you might think!

Book Jacket Blurb: Never in recent history have Christians been more discouraged and fearful about our country’s future. Economic chaos, immorality, terrorism and global turmoil have convinced many that we are living in the twilight days of America. Dr. Robert Jeffress agrees. But this is not the end of the story, he writes in Twilight’s Last Gleaming. Although we cannot prevent America’s eventual demise, we can delay it . . . and make a difference for eternity at the same time.For everyone who wonders what can be done right now—within our culture, our churches, in the voting booth and our neighborhoods—Jeffress answers with biblical insight and real-world clarity, showing Christians how to seize this unprecedented opportunity and point people to our only Hope.

Well that's what I'm reading this week. What about you, what are you reading? I'd love to hear about it :)

Have a wonderful weekend!
